Backstory:
Born amidst the bustling streets of New York City, ‘Bad Riot’ came into existence in 2010. Comprising of four friends – Jake, an audacious lead singer and rhythm guitarist, Chris, a dramatic drummer, Lilly, a vivacious bassist, and Max, an expressive lead guitarist – they were all driven by their shared love for music and a mutual desire to give a voice to the unheard. Jake, Chris, and Lilly went to the same high school and played in a garage band. When Max joined them in college, his unique skills blended perfectly with their sound, and ‘Bad Riot’ was born. Uniting on the common ground of their rebellion against the standardized norms of society, they saw music as their revolution, and ‘Bad Riot’ as their defiant call to action.
